J. SCHERNER v T I BE WRAPPING MACHINE Filed Aug. 4, '192 WITNESSES 1.9

.fippliceizion filed August To all whom 275 may 607208Wbf- Be it knownthat l, Jenn Scnnimns, e citizen of the United S ssies, and resident ofMilwaukee, in the county of lrllilWflPlIQf; and State of li isconsin,have invented new and useful Improvements in Tii'ei l ispping Machines,of which the following is a description, reference being bed to theeccompanying drawings, which are part of this specification.

Tlieiinvenlion relates to Wrapping chines, and more particularly to a Sping machine for wrapping rubccr I such as automobile Tires or with a.spiral wrapping or strip of paper or other suitable insteiiel. v

The essentiul object cl lie invention is tn provide a Wrapping niece usin which spirally Wound cover' supplied with adhesive to unite t isadjacent edges of: the turns of the strip as it is Wound nbon'l firmlythe tire so the covering will held in place and be prevented Windingeven if broken in spo cs, I struction providing a simple posit ve feedof adhesive to the vzreppingmsterml.

1 The invention further consists in she severe} features hereinei'terpariiculerly defined by claims at clusion hereof.

In em drawings: Fig 1 iss side elevation oi eiwiepping machine empodyiig the invention; Fig. 2 is e. de'beil sectional vievv taken on she line2-2 of Fig. 1; 3 is a detail" plan view of parts she con I the mscliine.

In the drawings the numeral 6: designates e supporting teblo carrying ebracket 5 upon which rollers 6 are mounted which veceiv-e s belt 7 thatruns over a drive pulley 8, drive pulley, as shown, being driven by sfriction wheel 10 on the shaft of on elecsiic motor 11. An annularshuttle mops-ted between the rollers 6 end. galley 8 and is continuouslyrotated by running :1 portion of -as Well understood the belt 7 aboutthe shu'stle end then over the pulleys 6, as shown in lie drawing and by"chose skilled in this art. The article to be wrapped, snob onautomobile lire casing 13, is supported upon spaced rollers 14, only onebeing" shown, a guide roller 15, in a. "well is.- -wn mil-4121 31, sothat the tire moves ibi'ougii the eye or central opening the slmb'ple esthe shuttle revolves.

E1 reel of paper or other suitable material 19 is mounted at a sni uponbe sliufitle 12 and from this wi 'epping ma terial passes mole 20carried by the thence to a guide rollenzl and then over the i'i-e. Thelength of this arcuate table is preferably equal to about half thecircumference of the shuttle so that n relatively long length ofWrapping material is dispcsed upon this table. The length of paper onthe table is substantially equal to double the length of paper requiredto make one -I\'):! '-"(3 the. over an ercuare shuttle and from is forthe purpose of forming a support for file paper while the adhesive isbeing applied thereto. The means for applying the adhesive to the paperconsists of a supply tonic 22 foradhesive mounted on an upright bracket23 into which a lOllQl' dips and with which roller 25 is in rollingcontact, the roller being mounted upon a swinging arm :26 andyielding-1y held against the wrapping paper by a spring 27, the swin ingmovement of the "the lower end 28 Of'illG arm engaging'a stop 29 on thetank To prevent the strip jumping oil the table 20 which, however, isprovided with flanged sides 30, a spring clip 31 carried by aid table isadapted to yieldingly engage-Mic paper stri p just before the somepasses down to the pu ley 121 While the whole strip may haveaclhesieenpplied thereto, it is only necessary to apply adhesive Wherethe spiral turns ovevlap each other and consequently the roller 25 isnarrower then the strip of wrapping materiel applied to the tire.

'With the above constniction, casing moves through the rotating shuttlethe paper or Wrapping material on the roll 13 is unwound therefrom andWound up as a spiral coveving upon the tire, and as this covering dripruns along the table 20 itrecei es udlisive from the roller 25 so thatadjacent convolutions sniiobly uniied icgether, the long table insurings pnoper supply of adhesive to the entire lengih of popes as it comesofi the roll. As the strip of paper on the table is long enough forsubston hielly two coils about. the tire the adhesive will be appliedWrite as the tire or of the wrapping are claims,
